I think libreoffice needs to create or adopt cloud technologies. Microsoft will most likely try to go into the cloud area. With sky drive. My scary thought is what apple might do with iWork if it were to turn its code base into the adoption of cloud technologies like or better than google docs. The

[tdf-discuss] Unable to configure toolbar display in LibreOffice 3.4.3

2011-11-29 Thread M Henri Day
